It is established amongst sales people that CRM systems are complicated and that, Excel was good enough for their needs. It is observed that somehow the sales workforce prefer multiple spreadsheets than a CRM system that opens a new window for each step. According to Gartner,(an organization with 24 CRM analysts) a CRM vendor has little to do with success. Whether a business deploys Salesforce, or Oracle, or IBM, Adobe, or SugarCRM, it does not matter. A vendor might be serving the right recipe of CRM, but the likelihood of success is far more dependent on how the CRM is implemented, which in turn, limits a potential client's adoption likelihood.

It's normal that employees will have natural skepticism of a new process or tool introduced to them, making it one of the prime reasons for the hesitance in CRM adoption. Over the years, businesses have expressed that the CRM industry should make the products easier to use, and focus on the core CRM features that businesses really care about. Modern CRM must be about helping customers and employees create meaningful and valuable relationships built around topics that matter to everybody involved. Less is actually more.

To change this perspective, the EDGE CRM team takes a unique approach with the implementation strategy. The firm runs a campaign with the client organization, trying to understand the people and process and at the same time prepping the people to get used to the new product. This induces a certain level of excitement among the employees of the client organization to welcome the new productivity tool into their business process. More so, the team does a quarterly review to check if the product is well accepted and the business is profiting from it. Likewise, the company has various approaches and features for various levels/hierarchy of the client.
